The Department of International and European Law was founded in 2009 and is recognized as one of the leading educational and research hubs in areas of international and European law in Ukraine. Prof.Dr. Roman Petrov is the chair of the department since September 2015.
The original Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, founded by the Metropolitan of Kyiv Petro Mohyla in 1615, was one of the most distinguished educational institutions in Eastern Europe. After its closure during Soviet times, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy was reestablished after Ukraine gained independence in 1991. Since that time, the National University of “Kyiv-Mohyla Academy” is one of the leading universities in Ukraine, which practices educational policy in line with the Bologna Process (three-cycle education, credit system, and selective courses) and best international academic standards.
According to annual ranking of Ukrainian employers, the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy is one of the top 3 of about 900 universities in Ukraine. It is the only higher education institution in Ukraine which runs programs and courses in English and Ukrainian at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy offers many competitive certificate programmes in European Studies, operates the prestigious Kyiv-Mohyla Business School, and launched a Western type Doctorate School in Ukraine. The Kyiv-Mohyla Academy hosts the very first Jean Monnet Chair in EU law and Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence in European Studies in Ukraine that offers interdisciplinary undergraduate and postgraduate courses in European Studies both in English and Ukrainian, and promotes teaching and research in European Studies within Ukraine and abroad.
This department is a UACES group member through our collaboration with USAID Justice for All Activity.
The USAID Justice for All Activity (J4A) in collaboration with the University Association for Contemporary European Studies is supporting Ukrainian law schools in their efforts to improve the teaching of EU law to help raise new generations of Ukrainian legal professionals with solid understanding of and skills to apply EU law to advance Ukraine’s integration into the EU. To this end, J4A supports Ukrainian law schools in building bridges with foreign law schools with expertise in EU law for international experience exchange and collaboration. J4A also facilitates the development of a network/community of practice composed of Ukrainian instructors of EU law and seeks to create learning and development opportunities for Ukrainian law schools and their faculty and channel them through such a network/community of practice for greater engagement, closer people-to-people contacts, and continuous improvement.
